In 2013, the medical examination began - this is a grandiose program that extends to citizens whose age has reached 21 years. In 2019, the program will continue.
What is medical examination
The concept of medical examination covers activities organized by the health system. The goal is to identify chronic pathologies and other health problems. Based on the results of the work carried out, control is established to help reduce the mortality rate.
Medical and preventive services are provided for citizens, while the population is counted, monitoring of individuals is established if the conditions for the disease are found.
Paid or free program?
The clinical examination program is free, but for this you will need a medical insurance policy to be examined at the clinic at the place of residence.
Paid procedure is carried out in the following cases:
- If you want to save time by staying in lines.
- If the clinic does not have the necessary equipment and appropriate doctors.
- If it is not possible to take tests, since there is no laboratory.
- If there is no medical insurance policy.
The procedure itself is carried out in a regional clinic, where the patient belongs to the place of registration. It can also be carried out by private hospital complexes with permission to conduct such events. If you need to undergo a medical examination, you need to contact the registry, and then visit the local doctor.
Advantages and disadvantages
Clinical examination is a necessary event, since its main goal is to reduce the risk of developing oncology, vascular and heart diseases and other pathological changes in the body.
According to statistics, in Russia people are sent to a hospital, after the disease has become chronic, it is much more difficult to eliminate its causes. The main positive aspect of the program is the solution to this problem. The identification of pathology at an early stage is important for the citizen and for the country. An equally important advantage is that even unprotected sections of the population will be able to use such services for free.
The disadvantages of the clinical examination include:
- A great burden is placed on medical staff, since not only those who undergo routine medical examinations go to the clinic, but also those who contacted for health reasons.
- Some citizens do not know that it is possible to have an examination for free.
- Part of the population does not understand what the event is for, because today they are not bothered by anything.
Along with all the positive and negative aspects, the procedure is optional, and everyone has the right to choose. Nevertheless, doctors emphasize that it is necessary to undergo a medical examination, as it is aimed at dynamic monitoring of the state of health. Even if you just take tests, it is possible that dangerous pathologies or the onset of the development of diseases can be detected.
